Okay, after a while of playing in the lower leagues, I'm starting out on my first stint as a Premiership Manager on 08, and I've decided to save Fulham from relegation and establish them in the league.

I told the club I could avoid relegation so I have about 60k of wages to fill up and just under £4 million to play with. The team needs strengthening in basically every position apart from left wing, though I could do with a couple of solid defenders, a strong centre midfielder and possibly another striker to get me some goals.

As to who I buy is where you guys come in. I was thinking of getting Flamini on loan from Arsenal as he's listed, but my scout has said his current ability is only 4 stars, about as good as who I have at the moment. Also found some decent looking defender I can pick up on a free called Sergei Igansevitch or something like that, he's a shade better than my defenders as of now so I'm going to buy him. Who else?

Ahhhh the mighty Fulham!

Get Ignasevich (sp?), hes a lot better than what we have at the minute....
Also try these (I've signed them for fulham at the start of the game before):

Luis ernesto perez
Cabanas
Kikin fonseca
Samba (from blackburn, usually costs £1m)

Also have a look round the major european teams on contract status, you can almost always pick up their "backup" players on loan - I once managed to get Cassano and Carini on loan

Cheers mate.

That Russian centre back has sadly gone off to Espanyol and rejected me sadly, but I'll look into those few players. Cassano would be mental!

retired_derekpuckett

Sorry but which Cabanas is it? Ricardo the centre mid or Salvador the striker?

Thanks, I've got my scouts working away on some of those as well. Couldn't find Eric Djemba Djemba for some reason, ridiculous really that such a (relatively) well known player in England doesn't come up when you put England and Large database, though I guess I'd need other countries for some of those.

retired_onlinetrainer

possibly ... i use huge database and i think DD is in qatar or something :/

the * are my highly recommended ones...

marcus williams becomes amazing.. trust me
constantin will man mark anyone out of the game
and bogdan stancu will end up in the top scorer list year on year i promise you

retired_brycer_77

Get Stancu, Piatti and Ropotan they all turn our great in a couple seasons and will cost you aboot £300k in total. Try Matias Cahais for def great defender. Try and loan Bojan and Dos Santos from Barcelona.

retired_kgold

Take a look at:

Leon Andreason for DMC/CB
Pablo Piatti AMC
Breno DC

and then hit the loans...

Matteo Ferrari CB
Gourcuff AMC
Diarra from Arsenal for DMC
Harry Kewell can do a job
Gonzalo Higuain from Madrid will bang in the goals

retired_derekpuckett

Wow, thanks all. I'm thinking I may as well buy Kewell permanently seeing as they only want a couple of million for him.

Already bought Chris Samba who looks quality.
